Easter is a holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is also referred to as Pascha (Greek, Latin) or Resurrection Sunday. Special services are held in some churches on Easter Sunday, which celebrate the Jesus Christ’s resurrection after his crucifixion. Many people also color or decorate eggs. These can be different types of eggs such as hard-boiled eggs, model eggs made of plastic, chocolate, candy or other materials, and many people eat the eggs later on. It is also common to organize Easter egg hunts. Organizers of egg hunts usually hide the eggs, which are supposedly hidden by a rabbit or hare and after that, people, especially children, then search for them. In some areas, Easter egg hunts are a popular way for local businesses to promote themselves or may even be organized by churches.
